Accommodation

As a Study Abroad student, you have the option of applying for pre-arranged accommodation (organised by Deakin) at several off-campus dwellings in Geelong and Melbourne, or at any of our on-campus residences.

These dwellings range from art deco-style houses to modern apartments and may include: single rooms, shared rooms, laundry facilities, shared kitchens, lounge areas, bed linen and towels, and more.

Demand for places in these dwellings is high and allocation is on a first-come, first-serve basis. You should submit your application early if you would like Deakin to organise pre-arranged accommodation for you.

When deciding which option to apply for, you should take into account the following:

cost (e.g. weekly rent)
type of accommodation (shared room, single room)
number of tenants
facilities available (e.g. laundry, shared kitchen)
meals (i.e. provided or self-catered)
distance to campus
location and access to facilities (e.g. close to shops, transport, beaches)
tenancy agreements and payment schedules.

Other accommodation options

In addition to pre-arranged accommodation, Study Abroad students can choose to stay in:

private off-campus accommodation (e.g. houses, apartments)
